I'm running apache 1.3.26 and samba on the same machine at my house. I'm using mod_log_mysql for apache logging. I was looking through my apache error logs and I found that a the name of a Samba share is showing up in my apache logs as file not found (404) error. Despite the fact that this file is not being found, this is concerning because that share is one I DON'T want to be available through apache. I don't even want want apache to even get a sniff of that file.

It isn't aliased in my httpd.conf file. It isn't liked to by other links I have in my htdocs root, and it isn't in my htdocs root. I've chmod 'ed the directory where this file lives to 700 as well as the file to 600. Apache runs as a different user with no shell or home directory.

I have the samba share in question mapped as a network drive on my wifes Win XP computer. That machine loads the share in question for a M$ program. This log shows up every time that program in loaded on my wifes machine. The log always shows that it was my wifes computer looking for that file, not some outside cracker (I hope). I have no idea why that M$ program (Money) would be looking for anything on the web server, nor is there any problem with the way money works.

Any ideas why money would be looking for a uri on my web server, or how the logs are aparently getting crossed.
